The people of Wisconsin should be able to trust the state's top cop to do their job and explain the progress of the work their doing, but Attorney General Brad Schimel finds that simple expectation too difficult to achieve.

In January, Schimel claimed that"a few hundred" packages of evidence had been tested, but in reality, just nine packages had been tested at the time.

When asked today to verify news reports that 60 packages of evidence from the backlog have been tested so far, Schimel put his incompetence on full display saying he didn't know where the news reports got that number from. The figure was provided to news outlets by Schimel's own communications office.

"After two years in office, Attorney General Schimel has spent more time and resources on promotional items than delivering justice for victims of sexual assault," Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Brandon Weathersby. "Schimel is either woefully incompetent or just doesn't care to do his job on behalf of the people of Wisconsin."
